I don’t mind paying straight up for the app. that is fine. I do not want to pay a monthly charge, or pay for 100 pictures. that is my opinion, and other opinions are fine. What I strongly object to was the original posters assertion that the people who are not wanting to pay for it think blind people want “freebies” That is why I wrote in because that is a spurious and insulting assumption. I stated my reasons for not buying the app, and none of them had to do with wanting freebies.
